Cheap Wall Rack

After putting together the ESD protection bar for my PoE devices, I decided that I wanted to reduce the number of ethernet runs I had strung across the garage, so I took some scrap bits of lumber, and made a small, wall mount rack, to put a switch, and my PoE PDU into.

I also took the opportunity to change the uplink to the switch to fiber, to further electrically isolate my outdoor PoE devices from my main server cabinet and network gear.

As an additional bonus, now I can remotely power cycle any of the PoE devices via the PDU in case of an issue.
